Focused on Excellence

About IEC

Our Brand Promise: To provide compassionate care and a world-class experience to every patient.

For over 35 years, International Eyecare Center has been a leader in the eye health care field. As part of Acuity Eyecare Group, we focus on providing the highest-quality services and products in a compassionate atmosphere, personalized for our patients’ unique needs.

Our History

International Eyecare Center was founded in Quincy, IL, in 1981 by Dr. John McDougall, an optometrist who believed that everyone should have access to world-class vision care right in their hometown. Since then, we expanded services to 12 offices throughout Missouri, Illinois, and Iowa, enabling us to provide affordable vision services, value-priced eyewear, and contact lenses to thousands of patients and their families. In 2017, IEC joined Acuity Eyecare Group, an experienced and successful management team.
